I was annoyed at Robins for selecting Dabo to take one. Throughout his career at Cov Dabo had never shown anything that suggested he would have the composure and technique required at that moment.
Look at who else was still able to take one, we didn’t have many great options. Someone has to miss and of course by Sod’s Law it was one of ours. Not helped by them being able to both go first and shoot in front of their own fans, which doesn’t really seem fairI was annoyed at Robins for selecting Dabo to take one.

Not true but for a laugh
Gary Deegan v2Are we sure its not true? We just lost out on the Aldershot lad so recruiting a promising youngster may be part of the plan
We do need to increase the quality of our u21s for sure, I think its the Twitter account in question that makes it unbelievable.Are we sure its not true? We just lost out on the Aldershot lad so recruiting a promising youngster may be part of the plan
Deals will happening over the weekend throughout football.Fingers crossed for a quality incoming today. Its unlikely there will be anything tomorrow because if the cup game and then its the weekend when nothing will happen
Sure but its not the CCFC style. They seem to have a format for announcements these days of on a weekday eveningDeals will happening over the weekend throughout football.
Not according to Turner.Nope that was utter bollocks
Who else was going to take them ? Dabo was sixth choice out of eleven it’s ridiculous going on and on about it, it happened, gutted at the time but move on.Forever grateful to Robins for all he’s done, our greatest manager in recent history and one for the HOF. Though his decision making on substitutions or for ex. choosing Dabo for the pen last season baffle me. Definitely his Achilles heel.
The source it comes from just makes stuff up, it doesn't get anything right.Are we sure its not true? We just lost out on the Aldershot lad so recruiting a promising youngster may be part of the plan
Boss Hogg ain’t no expert
That's not strictly true.That’s not the way the penalty shoot outs work a list is given to the referee from one to eleven and that’s the order they are taken, Dabo was obviously number six.
If anyone hasn't yet watched this (Ted Lasso) you need to, brilliantly funny.Still maintain we didnt have a 6th pen taker that day. I watched the team closely as they stood in a line on half way. Dabo was on the end, no one stepped forward with conviction. He looked down the line, put his hand/pointed to his chest almost to say "shall I go?".
We wern't prepared for sudden death.

In the interest of fairness your source also had absolutely no clue about Torp either. Presumably these deals aren’t done in one day so surely should have heard about it prior to the day of the announcement if they know everything about incomings and outgoings?Nope that was utter bollocks

Turner gets his info off here tbfNot according to Turner.
Out of interest. Do you always hear about every signing we make before it happens? Or do we ever sign people and you were not aware of it?Turner gets his info off here tbf
What is it that you have seen from Bidwell that makes you think that he was a better option than Dabo, particularly if he didn't fancy it? One goal in 78 matches and similar record elsewhere doesn't scream penalty taker to me. That goal the ball bounced off him too.Still blame Robins for that personally. Bidwell had to be the 6th taker

tbf I'd have backed Fadz to score or Bidwell, or to at least got it on target as soon as Dabo stepped up I knew deep down he would miss.What is it that you have seen from Bidwell that makes you think that he was a better option than Dabo, particularly if he didn't fancy it? The idea that Robins should have said no to Dabo and forced Bidwell or McFadzean to take it makes no sense. Unfortunately none of the options looked great so you would always go with whoever was the most willing.
To be fair Bidwell is a set piece taker and has an air of calmness about him Dabo never had. It’s just conjecture but….What is it that you have seen from Bidwell that makes you think that he was a better option than Dabo, particularly if he didn't fancy it?

You don't have to have an outstanding goalscoring record to be a penalty taker
OK this has been done to death, so only one more from me. Any professional footballer is technically capable of scoring a penalty. The hardest part is the pressure attached to it especially in those circumstances. We didn't have great options so we would clearly go with whoever most wanted to take it, or in reality, whoever least didn't want to take it.To be fair Bidwell is a set piece taker and has an air of calmness about him Dabo never had.

McFadzean has taken a penalty and it was awful.Or Bidwell shoot?
He looks like he should have a rocket on him but he never hits the ball cleanly. It’s just rock hard left back bias IMO.
